Strategic Consulting FAQs

 

  • A health check is an independent analysis of the current state of marketing. Depending on the company, it may include, for example: strategy and positioning, budget allocation between branding and activation, channel selection, metrics, and organization. As a result, management receives a diagnosis and prioritized recommendations for action. The process typically takes 2–6 weeks and costs €15,000–30,000, depending on the scope.

  • Ahto Advisory does not sell implementation, media, or production services, so its recommendations are not intended to encourage the purchase of additional services. Our advice is independent and based on marketing effectiveness, not on opinions or trends.

  • For CEOs, owners, and boards of directors who want to ensure that marketing drives growth. The work is conducted from a management perspective and reported in business terms, not marketing jargon.

  • Yes. Hourly consulting (350 €/h, minimum 10 hours) is suitable for specific, well-defined questions. For example, brainstorming a marketing plan or similar smaller projects can be carried out this way.
